W. TX. Teardrops |
Well the roadmaps of West Texas |
Never gave me good advice |
The trains all roll where the roads don’t go |
Now I lay awake at night |
Just wondering where the rest is |
So I hit that iron gate |
And I yelled good-bye to that wife of mine |
I may be running late |
I’m a-rolling on |
I’m a-rolling on |
Rolling out past El Paso, Texas |
Where I might have had a home |
I made my bed |
So here I lie |
I’m rolling West Texas teardrops in my eye |
Though I felt a lonesome feeling |
In Dulce, New Mexico |
I was happier than I’d ever been |
In my El Paso home |
But I thought about the woman |
Whom I left to roam the land |
And I cried so much |
It dug a rut they call the Rio Grande |
I’m a-rolling on |
I’m a-rolling on |
Rolling out past El Paso, Texas |
Where I might have had a home |
I made my bed |
So here I lie |
I’m rolling West Texas teardrops in my eye |
And my destination is written |
Upon my feet |
And the stars above |
Are about the only company I keep |
I raise my pass and |
Take my seat |
I’m rolling fast |
With a teardrop on my cheek… |
So I guess there’ll be no family |
So I guess there’ll be no wife |
Gonna roll away on an old steel dray |
It’s gonna be my life |
And the roadmaps I been reading |
I never came to figure out |
All I know is I’d explode |
By any other route |
I’m a-rolling on |
I’m a-rolling on |
Rolling out past El Paso, Texas |
Where I might have had a home |
I made my bed |
So here I lie |
I’m rolling West Texas teardrops in my eye |
I’m a-rolling on |
I’m a-rolling on |
Rolling out past El Paso, Texas |
Where I might have had a home |
I made my bed |
So here I lie |
I’m rolling West Texas teardrops in my eye |
I’m rolling West Texas teardrops in my eye |
Yeah, I’m rolling West Texas tear… drops in… my eye… |
